Mirchi Movies Ltd.’s ‘Hari Puttar’ emerges in
cinemas this Friday. Directed by the directors’ duo
Lucky Kohli and Rajesh Bajaj, the flick is aimed at
the kids. As the title of the film does give the
resemblance to Hollywood’s much acclaimed flick
series, ‘Harry Potter’, but in actual this
enterprise is not inspired by it rather it borrows
the storyline from ‘Home Alone’. The directors of
this show could not put the entertainment element
aptly in this movie, which was required to make it a
big entertaining kiddie film. Result: A mammoth
lackluster at the box office…a poor upshot in every
sense of the word. |

Wonder…what happened to the directors when they
passed this script to make the movie on..? Did they
not know that today’s kid is much smarter to figure
out what is good or what is bad..?
Hari Prasad (Zain Khan) is fondly called Hari Puttar.
He is a 10 years old bright kid who with his parents
has recently moved to UK from India. Professor
Dhoonda (his father) is a scientist and has been
assigned a |

 |
|

secret job with Defence Forces at a remote location
in England. Hari’s mother (Sarika) is atypical mother. His
father has a chip that is laced with some confidential
information. This chip is safely kept at his home. A few
days later, Hari’s aunt (Little Dubey) and uncle DK (Jckie
Shroff) come to their house. DK’s boss kids also arrive at
the abode. Suddenly, the whole home gets filled with no less
than ten children. Now the things begin to spin for Hari. He
is thrown out of his room so that the girls can be
accommodated. He is teased and ridiculed by the kids. He
soon develops the feeling inside him that he is unwanted and
unappreciated at his house. The day comes in when the whole
family goes for a holiday leaving Hari Puttar and Tuk Tuk (Swini
Khara) his cousin behind at home. Two goons (Saurabh Shukla
and Vijay Raaz) come to their home to steal the chip. Hari
and Tuk Tuk confront them. |

An amateurish and lifeless product all the way,
‘Hari Puttar – A Comedy of Terrors’ does not have
any sparks to raise the spirits even of the kids who
are the actual target market for this film. The
goons instead of looking hoodlums, appear to be
jokers. The villain has no expressions at all. Why
was the need to promote the film with a song
picturised on the sex goddess Shamita Shetty? It’s a
kids’ movie…why the kids are being offered to watch
a sexy siren? For promotion, |
|
 |
|
there should have been a song keeping the kids;
mentality in mind.
The script is the bigger failure having no life at all. The
direction is poor. Zain Khan is brilliant. Swini Khara does
a fine job. Sarika falls flat on acting front. Little Dubey
is just about okay. Jackie Shroff is passable. The fine
actors like Saurabh Shukla and Vijay Raaz disappoint.
In a nutshell, ‘Hari Puttar’ is a BIG FLOP with no interest
element along to rave about. |
